Guiding lasers where they need to go is a key part of optics systems, and now engineers at DESY have developed a way to bend laser beams without anything touching them. The light is deflected using an ...

Lasers have become ubiquitous: they read the prices of our groceries, play our compact discs, and even clean our clogged arteries. Now, thanks to a group of French physicists, the world has its first ...

MENLO PARK, Calif. (KGO) -- If you enjoy all the live performances in the Bay Area, you are no doubt grateful for the gift of sound. One Bay Area company is hoping to restore that gift to thousands of ...

Hearing someone across a crowded room can be close to impossible thanks to the way sound waves spread, but what if we could project audio with the same precision that we can project light? Researchers ...

In the modern day, we're used to being able to send messages to specific people over long distances, usually by way of a phone. But now, scientists at MIT have developed a way to use a laser to beam ...

Imagine sitting down to dinner with a group of friends, when a laser tickles the water molecules inside your ear. "You need to get home right away," your older child shouts. The younger one has fallen ...

Researchers in Antarctica have been working hard to find the answer to a critical question that will help us make more-effective predictive climate models, and the science behind the mission is ...

The first sound recordings from NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover have made it to Earth. Now, years after sci-fi films have shaped expectations, we finally know how space lasers sound — and it’s not what ...
